Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady joined the Wagner men's basketball program as a strategic advisor.
The university said McGrady, 46, was selected to lead the Seahawks' basketball operations, recruiting and name, image and likeness efforts alongside head coach Dwan McMillan.
Per NCAA rules, McGrady has waived a salary and will serve in a volunteer capacity as his son Laymen joins Wagner as a student-athlete. The younger McGrady spent last season as a redshirt at Oral Roberts.
'Stepping into this role is really personal for me since I did not go to college,' Tracy McGrady said. 'Being around this community, where gritty coaches like P.J. Carlesimo and Dan Hurley got their start, excites me just as much as basketball. It is a priority for me that goes well beyond wins and losses in the (Northeast Conference). It is about making sure potential is realized both for the short and the long term for these dedicated athletes and the staff.'
Tracy McGrady went directly from high school to the NBA as the ninth overall pick of the 1997 NBA Draft by the Toronto Raptors.
A seven-time All-Star, he averaged 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists during his 15-year career with the Raptors, Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks.
